The Malaysian National News Agency ( Bernama ) has withdrawn its correspondent in Jakarta, Indonesia effective immediately following the claim by the Jakarta Globe that two of its articles had been plagiarised and published in www.bernama.com , last week.

Bernama editor-in-chief Zulkefli Salleh said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur today that a new correspondent would be sent to Jakarta, scheduled in August.

He said that following the allegation, two Bernama management representatives had held a meeting with editors of the Indonesian newspaper in Jakarta at the end of last week.

“Following the meeting, the newspaper considered the matter to have been resolved,” he said.
